It was a slow and aching section to Sin Ming road. Was craving for fried carrot cake whole trip, but chef was not there yet. 😩 Settled with kaya set instead...

Felt uneasy at my lower back, thus did the deadlifts and deep squats slower today. Looking at my Hevy app again, seemed like I've set up my weights for barbells incorrectly. Now changed them to include the weight of the bar and the accumulated weight of the plates. 😅 Set B 1. Deep squat: 4set x10 35kg; 2. Deadlift: 4sets x9; 40kg; 3. L...

Carousell chat selection interaction
Here's a quick study of carousell's chat selection interaction. I see that the current trend is that we would hide the checkbox for the row items until you hover your cursor over it. Below is Carousell's Inbox where the user chat with the seller. As you can see, there's a huge left padding on each row item by default. How to select the...

Back to gym for the first time after injuring first the left wrist and then the left shoulder. That freak should injury from doing normal chinups. It was pretty long and slow recovery process that took multiple visits to TCM. Even now, I would say it is only 80% recovered. Today was pretty easy: light weights to kinda warm up the muscl...
